I've had this photo for years, on there are both my grandfather and grandmother, something has always intrigued me about who the others are and if they related. After a bit of searching I found Face++ and made this: github.com/jfarcher/fac... it compares all the faces in a pic and suggests kinship %

OpenBenches Welcome!

If you're out for a Boxing Day walk and spot a memorial bench, be a sweetie and snap a photo of it for openbenches.org

THANKS GANG!

Lovely. Iโ€™ve been a user and contributor to findagrave for genealogy reasons for a number of years, but Iโ€™ll do what I can here too.

Interesting, whatโ€™s the reasoning behind this? Genealogy?

What is the maximum length of a DNS name I saw several mentions that the maximum string length of a DNS name (domain name) is 253 characters. Wikipedia seems to be referring this old blog post: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostname http://

A colleague and I were laughing about registering a daft domain the other day. Both of us realised we didnโ€™t know the max length of a DNS name.
That escalated quickly:

I was going to hack a standard KVM with an ESP to achieve something similar with JetKVM but with the ยฃ25 NanoKVM itโ€™s hardly worth it.

NanoKVM arrived today, I opted for the lite model. Really impressed so far. Going to have a proper play over the weekend.

GitHub - microsoft/markitdown: Python tool for converting files and office documents to Markdown. Python tool for converting files and office documents to Markdown. - microsoft/markitdown

Microsoft just released a tool that lets you convert Office files to Markdown. Never thought I'd see the day.

Google also added Markdown export to Google Docs a few months ago.

Excellent news, keep us posted.
Should be alright, repurposing this as a proxmox backup server.

$1.8M raised and countingโ€”this is more than we ever imagined, all thanks to 12752 backers! ๐Ÿ™Œ

With just about 24 hours left, thereโ€™s still time to support JetKVM!

Has the homeplug standard been updated recently. I donโ€™t believe Iโ€™ve seen any new devices on the market for some time now. Happy to be corrected.

Yeah the fact it hashes and compares each file itโ€™s frighteningly quick. They should build in some sleeps in the code to make you feel more confident. Especially give. You can let it delete data, or not in our case.
